Re: Mentor startups in Gaza
#2i wonder whether there are student exchange or similar programs between Israel and Gaza. Specifically in this case - my understanding that Israel has pretty booming tech scene and one would expect that sharing the experience with Gazans would be a win/win for both sides.

I don't think that is likely to happen given the conflict between the two countries.

As a developer from Israel, I'd like to participate in something like this — but I don't think that there's any opportunity for me to do this. From what I understand, even if someone tried to do something like that on the other side, they'd risk execution for "collaboration" if they did this.

Actually, on their "How do we get in an out of Gaza" section it says:
>>We currently cannot bring people to Gaza if you have a West Bank ID or Israeli passport. We can bring people who have an East Jerusalem ID.
Out of interest, I wonder if they accept Jewish mentors.

Do you have anything to back that up? I'd be interested in reading about it.
Edit: I can see there's an article here that sounds like the root of this sort of statement but I can't read any details because I'm in a really remote place with very little internet. Over the last couple of days I've discovered that the wired world no longer cares for those with 7kbs connections :-)

I think your desire to participate is commendable. I don't know anything about the safety risks of collaboration to Gazans, it's very sad situation and I appreciate that it's very complex and possibly dangerous. I'd certainly be interested to learn more.
Otherwise, I'd imagine (possibly naively) that remote mentoring would be something good.
If it were possible for you to participate - would you risk repercussions for collaborating from other Israelis?

What? I think that most of the Israelis, including the extreme right, would agree with me and help me, given the opportunity. We hate the terrorists who have power in Gaza and keep the people as hostages and human shields, but we want to help the people themselves, if anything.

Yeah, it's things like this. Not the easies thing to google as Gaza doesn't exactly has any unbiased journalists; hopefully, I'll be able to provide you with some sources later in the evening.

You have to be insane to be a jew get into a territory that is governed by organisation that basically has "kill all jews" in it's charter.
